Augsburg vs Bayern Munich

Augsburg and Bayern Munich go head-to-head at the WWK Arena in an exciting Bundesliga showdown.

A poor start to the new Bundesliga campaign (W2, D3, L6) sees Augsburg languishing relegation play-off spot as another season-long fight against the drop looms. On a positive note, after losing their opening two league matches at home by an aggregate score of 8-1, they have gone unbeaten in their last three top-flight games at the WWK Arena (W2, D1). That run faces an imminent threat in the shape of a Bayern Munich side they’ve failed to beat in their last 12 Bundesliga H2Hs (D2, L10). Any hopes of posting their first league win over this opposition will hinge on Augsburg’s ability to rediscover their scoring mojo. Markus Weinzierl’s men have drawn a blank in five (45.45%) of their 11 Bundesliga fixtures this season, more often than any other side in the division.

Augsburg’s ponderous attack is a stark contrast to Bayern Munich’s free-scoring machine that has already tallied a staggering 40 Bundesliga goals this term. Since being held to a 1-1 draw to Borussia Monchengladbach in their first league trip of the season, the ‘Bavarians’ have netted 3+ goals in each of their subsequent four Bundesliga travels (W4), averaging 4.25 goals per game in that sequence. Delivering action from the onset, the visitors have opened the scoring within 15 minutes of play across their last four league games on the road. Another seemingly winnable contest is well on the cards. Julian Nagelsmann’s men have won eight of their historical ten Bundesliga visits to Augsburg (D1, L1), their best win ratio (80%) among sides they’ve faced at least five times away from home in the competition.
